Y/n, the Emperor of R/n(realm name) was sitting on his throne, listening to his general reporting about the recent activity of Shao Khan. They were in the middle of the war with Outworld. Y/n hated him for not only attacking his realm, but for betraying him. They used to be friends.
-Take the additional legion to the border. - instructed Y/n.
-Understood my Emperor. - bowed the general, ready to leave, when one of the soldiers barged in the throneroom, earning a glare from Y/n.
-My apologies for interruption. - said the soldier. - The guards caught a woman, she said that she is Shao Khan's daughter.
-Bring her in. - ordered Y/n. He dismissed the general and his advisors. When the captured woman was led in, Y/n leaned further back in his throne. He was curious why Mileena was here. Probably to spy on him. Nonetheless he decided to see what she will tell him. - You may leave. - he said to the guards.
-Are you sure Emperor? - asked one of the guards.- She's dangero...
-So am I. - he growled, glaring at the guard. He bowed apologizing and left the throne room, following his companion. - Mileena, what brings you here?
-I need your help. - she said. - I want to take over Shao Khan's throne.
-What do you have to offer me in return? - he asked. - Shao Khan's army is backing off. I will kill him even if it's the last thing I will do in my life. Plus, you betrayed him by coming here. How can I be sure that you won't betray me?
-You can't. - she answered. - If you don't believe me, that's okay. And I don't have much to offer, apart from myself.
-Why did you come to me? - he asked.
-Because you never betrayed me. - she answered. - My father, my lover, my sister...they were all using me for their benefit. I have enough of this. I'm better than that. Better than them.
Y/n looked in her eyes, trying to find any trace of lie. He also remembered how good at lying she was. Mileena was looking at him with hope. Y/n had a problem to decide. He had a possibility to check if someone was telling the truth, but he will be putting her in a lot of pain. Yet if he didn't do it, he may lose his realm.
-Mileena, I will now see if you are telling the truth or not. - he said walking up to her.
He touched her forehead with two fingers before he managed to react. He checked all of her thoughts, nothing could be hidden from him. Even her feelings. He felt her disappointment and a tiny little crush on some Emperor. That made him smirk lightly, but he continued going through her mind. Once he was satisfied, he took his hand away. Mileena immediately screamed and fell to the ground. Y/n turned around and sat down at his throne.
-You are free to stay here. - he said.

After long months of war, Y/n walked in the e palace of Shao Khan with Mileena at his side. Shao Khan was surprised seeing her with Y/n, but he only acknowledged her presence. She wasn't important to him anyway. Shao Khan was still sure that nothing will happen to him. To take over his throne, Y/n had to kill him first and Shao Khan was alway better than him at fighting.
-Round one. - he said. - Fight.
With that Y/n and Shao Khan jumped on each other. They were exchanging quick and powerful attacks. Shao Khan expected Y/n to get tired soon and lose his pace, but to his surprise, he didn't. If anything, Y/n was getting faster. Shao Khan didn't even notice when he was punched into the wall. Y/n immediately jumped to him and grabbed his arm, twisting and breaking it. Then he grabbed him by his throat, ready to snap his neck.
-Who taught you to fight like this? -Shao Khan asked, struggling.
-Mileena. - smirked Y/n and twisted his neck. He wasn't satisfied with that, so he tore Shao Khan's head off.
-Flawless victory. - said Mileena as Y/n walked up to her. - Congratulations, new Emperor of Outworld.
-I'm passing this title to you. - he said. - Prove me that you are better than Shao Khan and Kitana. -Mileena nodded. - Now, Empress – he smiled lightly, looking in her eyes. - I would like to ask for your hand in marriage. I offer myself and R/n.
-I'm afraid that I must refuse. - she said, but Y/n saw that she didn't want to. - I don't want a marriage based on politics.
-How about a marriage built on love, hm?- he asked. - I love you Mileena and I know you do too.
-That's true, I love you too...- she whispered and looked down.
-Can I kiss you? - Y/n asked placing his finger under her chin and making her look at him.
-But...my face...
-Shh, so what? - he asked and took her mask off. She didn't protest. Y/n leaned in and placed a kiss on her thin lips. She did all she could to kiss him back, without hurting him. Few minutes later Y/n pulled away and rested his forehead against Mileena's. - So will you accept my proposal?
-I will. - she answered, holding him tighter.
